Ocean Cafe

This is a restaurant in the resort I stayed at in Okinawa, called the ANA InterContinental Manza Beach Resort.

It’s by the pool of the resort, which provides a nice open air and sunlight.

Ordered Jameson on the rocks, a cafe latte, and a spam musubi. The musubi was 4x larger than I expected. But it was great, and just what I want. Also latte was

Update on 4/19 – got their loco moco for lunch another day, and also have to say it was pretty good.

HiCo

Needed to grab coffee, and this place was recommended by a friend.

I definitely liked the ambience of the place (could go there to work). I ordered an iced mocha, and thought it was great. They also have musubi. I ended up getting the crab musubi, which I thought tasted pretty good. Overall, liked this coffee place.

Update 11/29/2020: I tried the soak musubi this time, and because of the hot sauce they added on top, the crab musubi was way better.

Koja (Spark SF)

It’s been almost a weekly ritual of mine to visit Koja. My only order at Spark SF location is the chicken bowl. It’s just amazing. Has all the food groups you need in a meal, and it’s definitely an awesome fusion of Japanese food and Korean.

I almost always compliment my chicken bowl with a mimosa. The two together (especially today as it is 24 degrees) is just amazing.

Update (3/9/2018): I tried the Ahi Tuna Bowl today. It was good (especially because of the crab salad), but I think the chicken bowl is still the best. I also tried the beef bowl at some point too, and let’s just say it still isn’t as good as the chicken bowl.

Update (7/6/2018): I tried the Short rib bowl for the first time. I thought it was good, but it is a bit more expensive than the chicken bowl. At least now I have an alternate selection for this place!

Update (1/24/2019): They now have musubi, and aside from it being really good, I think it’s reasonably priced. The touch of bacon and avacodo on it is also simply amazing.
